At the foot of Phoenix Mountain, Shaanbei Public School is a newly established school that has not been established for a few months, but the number of students in it is also quite large. When the opening ceremony was officially held on November 1 last year, there were more than 300 students in five classes. They came from all over the world, and a large number of students came from the rear area, some students came from Nanyang, and a few came from enemy-occupied areas. There were Communists and Kuomintang members; There were workers, and there were peasants; There are Han Chinese and ethnic minorities; There were cadres from the Red Army and the Kuomintang-ruled areas; There are young people in their teens, and there are also old people who are over half a hundred years old.

It is now late April of the second year, and the number of students has skyrocketed, and it is not convenient to manage the school by class. Therefore, they organized the students into detachments and district teams, and there were four detachments: 37, 38 (for girls), 39, and 41. At the same time, the school has organized the students into battalions, district teams into companies, and detachments into platoons to study military knowledge, conduct military exercises, and guard against special cases and eliminate traitors.

The school of Shaanxi Gong is divided into short-term general student classes and long-term advanced research courses. The duration of the ordinary class is generally 3 months for 1 period, and the training period for the advanced seminar is 1 year for 1 period, and the main training is for teachers. The content of the study is: seven points of politics and three points of military affairs. The principal is Mr. Cheng Fangwu, and the teachers of the political class include Li Fanfu, He Ganzhi, Chen Weishi, Li Weiyi, Wen Jize, Li Da, etc.

Life at school is hard. In addition to wheat noodles, vegetables, grain and oil, which are supplied by the government, each person is also given a small monthly living allowance. The standard is: 1 yuan for students, 1 yuan for cadres and 5 yuan, and 5 yuan for instructors (each bucket is now worth 8 jiao). In terms of accommodation, the arrangement is to live with the cadets of the same detachment and live in the arranged caves.

After the person in charge finished talking about the introduction of Shaanxi Gong School, he took Zou Wenfang and the three of them to get some quilts, and gave them some subsidies by the way.

When a piece of money was handed to Zou Wenfang, he didn't accept the money, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Chen Shilian, after all, they still had a lot of money brought from their hometown. And the financial power of the family is in the hands of Chen Shilian, Zou Wenfang wants to hand it over to see his daughter-in-law's face.

Chen Shilian's consciousness is naturally not low, and when she saw Zou Wenfang looking at her, she also knew what he meant. She also refused the money handed over by the person in charge, but took the initiative to hand over the fiat currency she was carrying. "Comrade, all the money I have is handed over to the organization, and there is no need to give us subsidies. After all, there is suffering in the organization now, and everyone here eats and lives together, there is no need to give it to us, we can endure it. ”

The person in charge probably counted the banknotes handed over by Chen Shilian, some were odd and some whole, and there were several hundred-yuan bills, a total of about six or seven hundred yuan. Now 100 yuan of fiat currency can buy several cows, and these six or seven hundred yuan is quite a fortune. He glanced at Chen Shilian, this girl is good, she gave all her net worth to the organization, and she didn't hide her selfishness at all. People have paid so much money, why can't you be embarrassed? So he stubbornly said: "Although the organization is difficult, it is still necessary to treat every student equally." Although you have handed over so much money, the organization is grateful to you, and this is a little less, but you have to accept it. ”

At this time, what else is there to be hypocritical, Zou Wenfang took it, since he bought the buns that time, he couldn't save his private money anymore. Every time he had a few dimes, he didn't hide it for long and it disappeared, and then he never hid it again. Now that he is here, he finally has financial freedom again. Zou Wenfang smiled so happily. It's just that after he laughed, he found Chen Shilian's unkind gaze, he smirked twice, stepped forward, and took the initiative to hand over the piece of money that was not yet hot in his hand to his daughter-in-law, "Sister Lian, give it to you, you help me keep it." ”

Chen Shilian took it as a matter of course, put the two yuan close to her, and then smiled at Zou Wenfang with satisfaction.

Wu Yanping, who was on the side, looked at Zou Wenfang's cowardice, and secretly gave Chen Shilian a thumbs up, Sister Lian is really a heroine among women.

And the person in charge was surprised, these two people don't look like sisters and brothers, but this is someone's private matter, although he is curious, he didn't ask. In return for handing over so much money to them, the quilts given to them by the person in charge were the thickest, and the military uniforms were also the latest to be picked out, and they were given directly. The pencil and the small notebook were not stingy, and he directly sent them two copies each. Anyway, the daily necessities are given to them to give them the best, copper basins, towels, toothbrushes, tooth powder and other items, to give them the greatest care.

When the gray Eighth Route Army uniform was held in his hand, Zou Wenfang should have been happy, but now he couldn't laugh. It's all because he's too short, the military uniforms produced by the clothing factory are all of the same model, Zou Wenfang doesn't need to wear them, and he knows that they definitely don't fit. Seeing that the pants were almost to the chest, and the blouse could be worn directly as a skirt, Zou Wenfang had no choice but to look at Chen Shilian with a blank eye.

Chen Shilian gave him a blank look, took his military uniform, grabbed it in his hand, and it should be changed tomorrow if he rushes at night. Her own also needs to be changed, after all, it is much wider and she is not comfortable dressing.

Wu Yanping is about 1.6 meters, which is shorter than Chen Shilian, who is nearly 1.7 meters, but it is a few centimeters longer than Zou Wenfang, who is only about 1.5 meters long. But her military uniform also didn't fit well, and it had to be overhauled. She is a little jealous of Zou Wenfang now, and she also wants Sister Lian to help change it, but can Sister Lian be busy herself? Sighing, Wu Yanping still decided to do it herself and have enough food and clothing.

The person in charge had finished distributing the things and registered, and seeing that the three of them were now holding a lot of things, he said to them: "After receiving the things, I will take you to the accommodation place first, and I will take you to the detachment later." ”

"Okay, comrade, then I'll trouble you." Chen Shilian thanked politely.

After that, I followed the person in charge to find a cave to stay in.

Zou Wenfang was arranged into a small cave, and at the entrance of the cave was a poplar tree about one meter higher than the door, which should have been newly planted, and the soil on the ground still showed signs of renovation. The cave is also new, and the doors and windows are new. Entering the cave, the narrow space is to live eight people, and Zou Wenfang is the seventh. The structure of the cave is very simple, it is just a room inside, enter the door, you can see the two high kang erected on the left and right in the cave, each with four bunks, no matter how concise. There is no one in the cave now, and the quilts on the kang are neatly folded. It's afternoon, and they're supposed to be in class.

There is some space at the door from the kang, and there is a shelf for copper basins and other things. There was only one bunk left on the kang on both sides, there was nothing to choose, Zou Wenfang put the things in place, and the quilt was placed on the empty bunk on the kang on the right hand side of the entrance. Zou Wenfang quickly cleaned up, and they went out to find Chen Shilian and their cave
